Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on the furor over jet skis, which might be leading Maine to a "quiet waters" initiative. Joan Irish of the Congress of Lakes Association said her group intends to have legislation introduced to extend the mandate of the Great Ponds Task Force, which recently said three out of four people responding to a survey on lake-related issues favored an initiative to designate certain water bodies free of all motors. Gordon Hempton, an acoustic ecologist, said quiet places are becoming so rare that rural communities in Maine could capitalize on it.
